Kraftwerk Wilhelmshaven Construction

04 February 2011

During the past weeks, Wagenborg Nedlift’s 750 tons crawler
crane worked at the new powerplant construction site in
Wilhelmshaven. A giant tower crane, positioned on the 102 meter
high roof of the boiler building, had to be disassembled and
removed. The highest part of the tower crane was 140 meters high
and had a weight of 20 tons. The 750 tons crawler therefore was
equipped with 70 meters main boom and 98 meters luffing jib in
order to lift the tower crane parts from the roof. After finishing
this, the crane assisted with finalizing the roof construction of
the boiler building. Last year, Nedlift already carried out several
special transports to the Wilhelmshaven site. (See
